Nice idea, but no dice. The whole concept of 'unversioned properties
attached to revision trees' simply doesn't exist in WebDAV or
DeltaV. The way in which the svn client sets these revision-
properties (and the way in which mod_dav_svn allows it to happen) is
completely violating the DeltaV spec.
(For those in the lingo: mod_dav_svn is actually allowing the client
to PROPPATCH a baseline object directly. See issue 916 for details.)
So there's no generic WebDAV client out there that will do this odd
thing. Your only strategy would be to use an actual svn client of
some sort to do the deed. (Or you could write your own mini GUI app
that just calls svn_ra_change_revision_prop().)
